[The incorrect positioning of the intestinal stoma as the reason for complications in its care]

The role of the position of intestinal stoma in 81 patients was the subject of a clinical study. In 48 patients the position did not meet the requirements of an optimal position, i.e. every point to be 5 cm away from roughnesses on the abdominal wall. The points on the abdominal wall which meet the requirements for an optimal position of a stoma were determined in 200 at random selected subjects, who had no stoma. These points are unified in fields, named by the author optimal fields, which are left and right, each with a semicircular form, with radius parallel to the median line and center 5 cm away from the umbilicus along the spinoumbilical line.
